Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

During the 1960's, a good deal of research was conducted on the psychological nature and measurement of creativity and on curriculum and instruction in the nurturing of creativity. Currently, however, there appears to be a loss of interest in fostering creativity. Every component of education and schooling affects the development of creativity. If gifted children are to become gifted adults, their creativity must be nurtured by all those who influence their development. Research and experience of the past two decades have provided educators with the necessary base for making the nurturing of creativity an integral and meaningful developmental activity rather than an educational fad soon to be forgotten and ignored.
